Synopsis

This absorbing French drama with an international cast is set in a Swiss ski resort. With no parents, Simon's older sister Louise is his only family. Though he is only twelve, he is fiercely protective of her, and does everything he can to ensure they have enough money to get by, including stealing ski gear — a pretty risky business. As independent as they may be, the lives of Simon and Louise are a struggle and the problems of adolescence are heightened by their living arrangements. When a kind tourist, Kristin, befriends them, they must consider what is really in their best interests.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
